About the Law School

The mission of the Maurice A. Deane School of Law is to prepare, challenge and inspire our students to make a difference in the world while we advance important ideas through the legal academy, the profession and society — making an impact of our own.

Since 1970, Hofstra Law has provided more than 12,000 students with an education rich in both the theory and experiential skills needed to produce outstanding lawyers, business executives, and community leaders. 

Launch your legal career by choosing from our JD program or a degree from our joint JD/MBA, JD/MPH and JD/MALFL (forensic linguistics) programs. We also offer graduate law programs, including a Paralegal Certificate Program, online Master of Arts in Health Law and Policy degree, as well as LLM graduate degrees in American Legal Studies, Family Law and Health Law and Policy (online).
